As Madonna bounds on to the huge Wembley stage to save the planet, how the
assembled Greenies will cheer.

The superstar is today fronting the massive Live Earth event, with nine
concerts played over 24 hours across seven continents before an audience of two
billion.

The much-hyped bid to save the world is being masterminded by former U.S.
vice president Al Gore - who helped focus attention on the environmental
movement with his Oscar-winning film, An Inconvenient Truth - and features
artists including The Police, Red Hot Chili Peppers, UB40 and Metallica.

No doubt to rapturous applause, Madonna will call for mass global change
to
reduce carbon emissions and to tackle 'climate crisis'.

Watching the veteran star lap up the adoration, her entourage could, however,
be forgiven for exchanging slightly jaded glances - having witnessed her jet in
for the concert from New York.

For her 2006 World Tour, she flew by private jet, transporting a team of up
to 100 technicians and dancers around the globe. Waiting in the garage at home,
she has a Mercedes Maybach, two Range Rovers, an Audi A8 and a Mini Cooper S.

Read the whole pathetic joke here.

Indeed, Madonna's carbon footprint is dwarfed only by her ego - she has vowed
that she will 'speak to the planet' at Wembley. In fact, an apology might be in
order - for the superstar's energy consumption is only the tip of the iceberg in
this epic vanity-fest.

The Live Earth event is, in the words of one commentator: "a massive,
hypocritical fraud."

UPDATE: Wait, speaking of massive fraud.Bill writes;

Dear lady, I believe that if you look closely into Mr. Bore's "carbon footprint" deal, you will find that he is a major shareholderpart of the company that issues him his "carbon offsets". So it's kinda like he's taking money out of his left pocket and putting it in his right and saying he's giving to charity, when Charity happens to be the name of the stripper who reaches into his right pocket for her payment. Can we say "conflict of interests", hmmmm?
